Getting Started:

Before installing Diploma Exam 6, ensure that your computer meets the following requirements.

Windows: Windows 98 2nd Edition or later, Internet Explorer 6 service pack 1 or later, 32 megabytes of available RAM (for Windows 98 or Windows ME) or 64 megabytes of available RAM (for Windows 2000, XP or later), Super VGA with 256 colors or higher, and sufficient hard drive space to store the program and question bank.

Macintosh: Power PC Processor, MacOS 8.6 or later or MacOS X or later, at least 32 megabytes of RAM, and sufficient hard drive space to store the program and question bank.

Creating Content :

There are two different ways to go about creating your tests. One is to fill a question bank with all of the questions and add them to new tests (we will go into question banks further later in this section). The other way is to create each question on the fly. To do this, click on Question in the Exam Window and choose New Question.

new question

When you do this a window will appear that will allow you to choose the type of question. Then a window will appear where you can create or edit your question and the answers. This is the question editor window (you can also open this window by double clicking existing questions). Type in your question and the answers and then close the window. The question will now appear in the test. Repeat this process as many times as necessary and then move on to the next section.
